The synthesis and Diels-Alder reactions of cyclopropenyl ketones are described. For many years cyclopropenes have been recognized as reactive dienophiles in the Diels-Alder reaction 2 and high diastereoselectivity has been observed in the Diels-Alder reactions of cyclopropenes with C-3 hydrogens.3 The high diastereoselectivity in such cyclopropene Diels-Alder reactions has been attributed to a stylish C-H π interaction between the allylic C-H and the diene via an transition state. RO 15-3890 3 c although the origin of stereocontrol is usually debated.3d e Given this strong preference for by oxidizing the mixture with Dess-Martin periodinane to give 3 as the sole convergent product and by charactering of the 3 5 of the major diastereomer of 4 by x-ray diffraction. (3) The scope of the Diels-Alder reactions of cyclopropenyl ketones is usually further elaborated in Scheme 4. The reaction of 1 with 1 3 in the presence of Dess-Martin reagent produced a 90% yield of adduct 5 as a single diastereomer (>95:5 RO 15-3890 d.r.). The reaction of ketone 6 with 1-methoxy-1 3 was found to be sluggish at r.t. and in non-polar solvents. The ideal p300 conditions for this reaction and several of the subsequent reactions were to combine the purified enone in ethanol at 75 °C for four hours. Under these conditions the reaction proceeded to give 7 in 82% yield. The reaction of 8 with 2 3 when subjected to identical reaction conditions produced 9 in 78% yield. The reaction of 8 with furan RO 15-3890 resulted in an 81% yield of 10 as a 2:1 mixture of diastereomers.18 The low stereoselectivity with furan is precedented by the Diels-Alder reaction between furan and cyclopropene.17 While 2 3 cyclopropene carboxylates were constructed using dianion chemistry cyclopropene 11 could be prepared in one pot from 3-triethylsiloxy-1-decyne. Diels-Alder reaction with oxidation by Dess-Martin periodinane gave an 83% yield of adduct 12 (Scheme 4 bottom). Unfortunately our attempts to use 1 3 1 3 were unsuccessful and led only to decomposition products under forcing conditions. Danishefsky’s Diene does react with the enone 2 but the isolated product is not a simple 4+2 adduct. Exploration of the reactivity of silyloxydienes with cyclopropenyl ketones is usually ongoing. As the Diels-Alder adducts in Schemes 3 and ?and44 are 1 2 it was anticipated that this cyclopropane rings could be opened under reductive conditions and thereby translate the chirality of cyclopropene carboxylates to compounds that lack 3-membered rings. Indeed compound 3 readily opens upon treatment with SmI2 to provide 13 in 75% yield as an 88:12 mixture of diastereomers (Eq 4). The major diastereomer was assigned through an NOE experiment. (4) In summary the synthesis and Diels-Alder reactivity of cyclopropenyl ketones are described. These dienophiles can readily be prepared via additions of aldehydes with dianions of chiral cycloprop-2-ene carboxylic acids. Cyclopropenyl ketones are significantly more reactive than their allylic alcohol precursors and can engage a range of cyclic dienes and 2 3 This strategy of using cyclopropenyl ketones to facilitate Diels-Alder reactions is not limited to the synthesis of products that contain 3-membered rings. Reductive opening by SmI2 provides a method for synthesizing products that lack RO 15-3890 a cyclopropane ring but still retain a quaternary stereogenic center. Experimental Section Diastereomers of methyl 2-(1-hydroxypropyl)-3-methylcycloprop-2-ene carboxylate (1) To a dried 25 mL flask was added 2-methylcycloprop-2-ene carboxylic acid19 (120 mg 1.23 mmol). THF (7.7 mL) was added via syringe and the solution was cooled (?78 °C). MeLi (1.70 mL of a 1.6 M solution in Et2O 2.7 mmol) was added via syringe.
